    Just had breakfast tacos! They are good and they are huge! If you need more than two you need to watch your weight.

    Guanatos - Crispy Tacos  play so good

    Ok, I wanted to love this place since he went to a building, but it was HORRIBLE! His taco truck is…read moresooooo amazing, but this was absolutely horrible. I took 1bite of my cheese enchilada and I don't know what they use to season their gravy, but horrible, and the cheese inside was not even melted. I got 2 crispy tacos, the tomato came as 2 pieces of a half, that was laid in the enchilada sauce, and 1 bite and the entire taco fell apart and I had to try to get a few bites with a fork, but 1 more bite and I was done. I left literally almost a whole plate of food. The taco meat tasted almost like Taco Bell. HORRIBLE! We got to know the owner when he had his truck outside of New Braunfels, and he's a super nice guy, but this... he miserably failed at his restaurant. My husband got carne guisada, ate 1 bite, and no more. He ate the rice and beans, and a tortilla, and he was done. So literally over $35 for 2 almost full plates to be left on the table. I wish I had taken pics but I was so mad, and ready to leave so I could actually go get something else to eat.

    The food was very tasty and beautifully prepared. Unfortunately my chili relleno was not hot all…read morethe way thru but it was large and all of the sides and ends were hot. I will reheat and eat later. The portions were large and both of us took home leftovers. The service was good, no check brought to table, we waited and found out you just go to register to pay. The dining area is bright and follows the Mexican motif. No music playing which made conversation better. If we are in the area we may return.

    The ambience is clearly a restaurant attached to a livestock Arena. I don't think you would…read morenecessarily aim to visit this restaurant for that reason it is however kept. The food, which in my case was a hamburger was absolutely wonderful. The french fries were equally well done. The portions are generous and given how busy the restaurant is it was very well prepared. Again, given how busy this particular restaurant is the service is amazingly efficient, and the staff is very nice. Although I would suggest it is not a place you would necessarily want to come to relative to its ambience on the other hand you would miss a wonderful meal if you did not. In my case I chose the meal over the ambience and it was well worth it and that is the reason I give it five stars.

    We had occasion to have lunch in Gonzales with some family members as we all came for the Gonzales…read moreMemorial Museum. The sevice was great. The food was especially good with large portions and very reasonably priced. I understand there is a meat market next door (I assume the meat comes from there). My Philly Cheese Steak was excellent. The hamburgers are 1/2 pound (unless you want bigger) and very good. My wife had the BLT and was amazed at how much better than normal the bacon was. Our nephew, who is a big eater, couldn't even finish his chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy and said he's never had better. We all had fries and they were fresh, house-made, and delicious. None of us could finish them all. We pass through Gonzales maybe a dozen times a year and since this place is a couple of block west of where we join Hwy 90A, we've never seen it. Other reviewers mentioned that it seems to be a favorite of the locals and now it one of ours too. The tables fill the room and if there were more I'm sure they would fill them, though that might mean the fast service could suffer, so to me it's fine as is. We will return and will start planning our trips to include lunch here. They close at 2 pm so will leave home with that in mind.

    We stopped at Sunken Gardens for lunch on our way to Goliad State Park and were pleasantly…read moresurprised. The restaurant is cafeteria-style, with everything priced at $8.99 per pound, which we didn't expect but ended up working great for our family since everyone could choose exactly what they wanted. The food tasted homemade, and the salad bar was especially impressive with lots of fresh options. The chicken tenders were a big hit with the kids, and we couldn't resist trying the cherry cobbler for dessert, which was delicious. If you're passing through Shiner and looking for a casual, satisfying meal, this is a great stop.

    In the shadow of the city's eponymous brewery (really Spoetzl Brewery but most wouldn't know to…read morewhich I refer), sits a small diner that offers stick-to-your-ribs comfort food that is sure to quell the hunger of a hardworking brewer on their well earned lunch break. In a style that you don't see as often as their once was, they offer home cooking by the pound. Today there was catfish, chicken tenders, hamburger steak 3 ways, turkey, and lasagna, and probably a few I missed. Their sides collection will take you back to your favorite church pot luck with the breadth of variety. They also had a very fresh salad bar with the best options you can ask for in before you indulge in the fried goodies. I caught them right before close so I was offered a discount take it to go. Al fresco dining was fine by me so I got to enjoy my weighty meal whilst looking at one of my favorite Texas institutions and sat amongst the ruins of the Sunken Garden.

The dining room was very clean. Staff very nice. You can tell they are trying to learn the craft of Texas bbq. The staff don't seem to be in communication with each other. I saw some white lady that just looked angry behind the counter I'm assuming is the owner. Now, I did have VERY high expectations for this place because I have been a long time follower of 90 West barbecue since they first began. I know Jesus and Robin moved to this location. With that said I had high hopes the food would have came along with them, which by visual plating, and taste it absolutely did not. I honestly felt them two would have easily been brought this place on the top 50 bbq list and that got me so excited to make the drive out to try it. I did ask for Jesus but they said he was off when we went by. That surprised me they always work! Haha I don't know if he will see this review since he is a manager but Jesus your very talented man with a heart of craft bbq we know your worth, your bbq was killer. I pray someone will give you a partnership to begin your own restaurant location you will do just fine back in San Antonio and we will be right there with you and Robin.
